Girls who are scouting for an opportunity to be involved with the premier leadership organization for girls need only look as far as their local Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan office.

Beginning Oct. 1, GSHOM will kickoff its annual Join Girl Scouts Week. Council staff and volunteers will host open houses throughout the GSHOM’s 34-county service area where girls and their parents or other responsible adults in their lives may get more information about Girl Scouting or register to become a Girl Scout.

Jackie Bucsi, chief membership and program officer for GSHOM, said there are more ways than ever for girls to take advantage of the programming and services offered by GSHOM. She said her team of volunteers and staff are working everyday to make sure that girls have the opportunity to get involved based on their interests and schedules.
